Construction & Design

The grille is expertly crafted from polished stainless steel, chosen for its excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The 2.5mm wire mesh is precisely woven to balance airflow with protection, allowing sufficient ventilation while blocking harmful debris. The polished finish not only enhances the grille’s appearance but also provides a smooth surface that resists tarnishing and maintains its shine over time.
